Did you sell your produce to Producers Produce
Company the past week? Did you get all you could
have got if you had sold here? There is one thing
we will guarantee—you will get just as much for
your produce here as anybody else regardless of how
much he has to sell or how little you have to sell.
Our dressing plant is here to help the people of
this section by keeping the very best market in Lam-
pasas that is to be found in this section of the State.
We dress poultry every day in the year and employ
home people. When you sell to us you are helping
them to keep a job.
Bring us what you have to sell. You do not know
the price till you get here. IT WILL BE THE TOP
FOR THAT DAY—we guarantee that.

Much Uncertainty Over
Correct Plural of “Bus**
“The Listener” discussing In the
Boston Transcript the plural of “bus,**
says: The approved plural of “omni-
bus, of which word “bus” is a contrac-
tion, Is “omnibuses,” and by some it i*
assumed that the same rule applies to
“bus,” but it should be evident. In the
Listener’s opinion, that another rule
should apply Jn the case of the con-
traction. The doubling of letters for
plurals or for the Indication of other
parts of speech is influenced by pro-
nunciation as well as by etymology
and in the case of the word “omni-
bus” the accent being on the first syl-
lable. there is no occasion for doubling
the final “s” in the plural to prevent
a mispronunciation. But in the con-
traction “bus” there is distinctly occa
sion for the doubling, for “buses," with
the single “s’ would naturally be pro-
nounced to rhyme with “abuses.” or
“sluices.” As it is to be pronounced
“busses,” it should he so spelled. The
fact that “buss” in the singular may
mean a kiss, as well as a vehicle for
the transportation of passengers, need
not influence the case at all since Is
the English language there are many
words which have different meanings.
Siddons, Famed British
Actress, Born in Wales
Sarah Siddons, famed as the great-
est of British tragic actresses, was
born in Wales. Her father was Roger
Kemble, manager of a theatrical com-
pany, and from her childhood Sarah
worked on the stage.
She was married to William Sid-
dons, a member of the company, when
she was seventeen, and soon after-
wards she was recommended to Gar-
rick, resulting in her playing Portia
In the “Merchant of Venice,” at Drury
Lane, her salary being £5 a week. She
did not win unqualified success, and
was not engaged for the next season.
For the next six years she worked in
the provinces.
Invited to return to Drury Lane be-
cause of the reputation she had now
achieved, she played Isabella in “The
Fatal Marriage,” and won an immedi-
ate and permanent success in Lon-
don, her histrionic ability being con-
sidered perfect.
She left the stage In 1812, and lived
in retirement for twenty years. A
statue of her, by Chantry, is in West-
minster abbey.
Bermuda’s Blue Laws
Gaming, dicing, even “merry songs”
were strictly prohibited on Bermuda
Sabbaths during the reign of the Pur-
itan Cromwell in the little English
colony’s mother country. Plays were
banned and swearing met with sum-
mary treatment throughout the week.
A writer gives an account of the
measures taken to enforce virtue in
Bermuda during the Commonwealth.
“The Bermudian church wardens,
‘upright, honest and sober in their
carriage,’ were instructed to look
into the ‘lives and conversations’ of
the people, and, on Sundays, after
the reading of the lesson, to leave
the church and having stopped any-
one loitering in the churchyard, to
‘search the worst and most suspected
places’ with the purpose of sending
to divine service all who were not
compelled by circumstances to be ab-
sent.”
Hark, Hark! the Scientist!
Though one can imagine nothing of
less consequence than a popular ten
dency to exaggerate the duration of
the skylark’s song, there is always
somebody at liberty for every little
pinpricking job. One of South Shields,
England, being intellectually hurt by
the assertion of unthinking persons
that skylarks often sang for half an
hour and sometimes for as long as an
hour, went to the outskirts of South
Shields and held a stop watch on
skylarks of the neighborhood. His
doing are recorded in Nature, the
British scientific publication, which
brings the astounding news that this
breaker of bubbles, this destroyer of
illusions actually held the stop-watch
on 549 songs and found their average
duration to be 2.22 minutes. The
greatest duration of any single song
was nineteen minutes.—New York Sun.
Ant-Lion a Trapper
The ant-lion, as its name suggests,
is a ferocious insect in the kingdom
of comparative-sized insects. It is the
larvae of a flying insect common in
the United States. It derives its name
from its strong, cruel jaws and the
equally strong pincers at the ends of
its front legs. When it is out feeding
it traps its victims by means of a
funnel-shaped hole which varies from
1 to 2 inches in diameter. Lying in a
gallery leading off from the bottom
of the tunnel, the ant-lion extends Its
claws into the base of the funnel and
waits. Ants and other insects falling
or crawling down into the holes are
seized in the strong pincers of the ant-
lion and dinner is served forthwith.
Hereditary Weaknesses
Many characters in man have proved
to be hereditary. Among the very in-
teresting ones is a tendency to exces-
sive bleeding when the injury that
causes the hemorrhage to start is very
small. In such Individuals the abnor-
mal condition, known as hemophilia,
is due to a chemical change in the
blood which prevents its clotting. This
condition, which is very rare In wom-
en, can be transmitted by an apparent-
ly normal woman to approximately
one-half of her sons. This type of
Inheritance Is well known among the
lower animals which are used In lab-
oratory experiments.
